Gorgeous version with photographs of the novel by the great Mexican writer Elena Poniatowska that chronicles the incredibly passionate and adventurous yet relatively brief life of the Italian photographer Tina Modotti.

From being Edward Weston's model and lover in 1920s Mexico City, to being falsely accused in Mexico of the murder of her Cuban revolutionary lover, to becoming a nurse during the Spanish Civil War and then a secret agent of the Soviet Union, and not to mention a very influential photographer of the Mexican avant-garde, Modotti's is one hell of a tragic yet beautiful story. Who better to tell it than La Poni.
